Not the last time I tried it.  Windows 9[58], on the other hand, will
happily destroy anything in the MBR, including lilo.

BTW, if the system still has Linux on it, I seem to recall that there
is a way to restore the DOS MBR from one of the files in /boot...
(Unfortunately, I can't remember details, but it is probably in the
lilo docs or one of the howtos.)
